Thousands of people have been enjoying floral exhibitions, educational presentations and local community displays as part of the annual Esperance Wildflower Festival this week.

More than 500 plant species have been on display at the Anglican parish of Esperance since Monday, with over-sized insect and flower sculptures also attracting the attention of visitors from across WA.

Headed by the Anglican Parish Council for nearly 40 years, this year new partners Esperance Community Arts and the Esperance Wildflower Society helped organise and promote the festival.

ECA executive officer Jane Mulcock said feedback about the festival had been positive and he hoped many people would volunteer in the future.
